Explore our capabilities Sector expertise
For more than two decades we have worked alongside founders, family groups, corporates and investors across the continent. Our edge is not a framework anyone can download, it is operators who know the agronomy, the aggregation and the market, and form a view in the field before they form one in a spreadsheet.
We have run and built agribusinesses, not only analysed them. We know where value is really made and lost in each value chain.
Genuine knowledge of the agronomy, processing and markets behind flowers, coffee, grains, livestock and more, not generalist consulting.
Teams and a specialist network across the continent, close to the businesses we advise and the buyers they sell to.
Clients need a partner who can move with the business as it grows, finances itself and changes hands. We work across four connected stages.
Choosing the right ground, crop and model, and building a venture that works on the land as well as on paper.
02Lifting yield, quality and operational performance in businesses that are already running.
03Making the business bankable and connecting it to the right capital, on the right terms.
04Preparing and running the sale or acquisition, and realising value at exit.
Practical, private-sector advisory for owners, investors and corporates, operational depth and sector knowledge applied to what to build, what to fix, what to raise and when to sell.

04Feed conversion, genetics, biosecurity and offtake, where the business case is won or lost.
05Engineering and procurement support matched to real supply and real demand.
06Helping input and service businesses professionalise, raise capital and scale.
From East to West and Southern Africa, we advise and invest where our clients need us, drawing on a specialist network close to the businesses we work with and the buyers they sell to.
How blended finance is helping unlock capital by reducing risk, and where the model breaks down.
Capital marketsAfrica needs US$75–200 billion in additional agricultural financing every year, yet less than 5% of commercial capital reaches it.
